In my bedroom, I change clothes and jump straight into bed.Sleep is not long in coming and I am fully rested when I wake up the next day. 'Jace, don't forget. The meeting tomorrow morning. Be early, I won't tolerate you being late this time,' I warn my Beta in the mind link. Obviously, he's still asleep.After a bath, I get dressed in a shirt and jacket.As I go down the stairs, I run into Clark. “Hey man, good to have you here. Because of Jace, clearly nothing will come of him today”, I sigh. Together we walk to the conference room where a delegation of two packs is waiting for me. These business meetings are crucial for the region. They are more evaluations of bilateral alliance agreements between packs and pack politics. If they are held in Midnight Moon, I personally lead them but outside the pack Jace takes care of them.“Alpha King, you know Jace is out for now. He has yet to recover from the rejection, it is a heavy blow for him”, Clark whispers to me. “Remarkable, actually. H

After Enrick retires to his quarters and Alcina gets used to whatever her business is, I head back to the woods.Erina is no longer in Midnight Moon, that's for sure now. She's gone and I don't know where to go find her. Only the forest can give me any clue. I shift and give Hunter control. We go again for a race just like a few days ago, but now to the southern side of the pack border. Some warriors are watching from a distance, no one tries to approach me when I am in this state of mind.An hour later, when fatigue kicks in, Hunter slows down.Looking around, I see that we have reached a hilltop and smoke rises in the air a few meters further. Someone is there cooking or roasting. We comfortably sit in the grass and watch the rising smoke. This area does not belong to the pack domain, we are at least a kilometer in neutral territory. Humans often camp in this jungle with their families or solo. Walkways are laid out and signpost where danger lurks. Humans are naturall

Alpha King Enrick's POVAfter my successful work trip to the new business center, I go straight to my apartment to rest. My wolf is restless, Drina hasn't visited us for several weeks. Jax craves her, her warmth and arms around us. Every night we watch the woods for an hour, hoping she will show up at any minute. But so far, that hasn't happened.And Jace left right after he dropped off Alcina and me at the packhouse.I know that Erina's disappearance is taking a heavy toll on him. I have yet to hear the whole story, he must have done something drastic that Erina rejected him and then left without a trace. She didn't even visit me to say goodbye. They have to solve their problems on their own but the packhouse seems so empty without the little chattering Erina. That girl is the liveliness in the building, mysteriously turns everyone to her will. She has an aura that forces everyone to devote themselves completely to her. And she still owes me a promise.I take a bath and immediately p

Alcina’s POV That bitch Drina has everyone in Midnight Moon at her hand!No matter how hard I tried to seduce her mate, the more he rubbed in my face that he only loved her and no one else. She hasn't been in the pack for the last few weeks, so I thought Enrick must be horny now and easier to lure. I sneaked into his bedroom from my balcony. He was peacefully sleeping on the bed. Fully naked, I lay beside him, hugging him from behind, starting the magic with my hands. But I was so wrong, he woke up instantly and kicked me out of his bed like a troublesome fly.My plan needs some adjustment if I want to reach my goal.Using love as bait won't help anymore, I have to find another way to force a mating with Enrick. I have to think hard, but at this moment, my head is on Drina and the challenge she threw at me. From the faces of the other pack members, I know that if I make a move now, it will not be a battle between the two of us only. All warriors will join her side, I al

Fast as the wind Drina shifts into the Lycan she is. It takes her less time to get to Midnight Moon's border. This time, not an ordinary white wolf but one who has advanced to Lycan stands before the border patrol. They don't recognize her right away, but the authority she exudes urges them to drop to their knees with their heads bowed. Lycans are superior to ordinary werewolves and the men have no choice. Jace is on patrol tonight, when he faces the Lycan, he immediately recognizes Drina."Luna Queen!" he exclaims, his head bowed, his neck bare. "What happened? You're a Lycan!" he observes in awe. "And I sense your anger." Drina shifts back into human form. The energy now radiating from her is scorching. "Jace! This bitch caught Erina. When was the last time you saw the little one?" she asks the Beta. Jace's face falls instantly into stress. "Several weeks ago. She rejected me and left the pack. I haven't seen her since. I wrote her a letter at the beh
